After the break, Patrick Martins joins the show welcoming poultry farmer Frank Reese to the program sharing details on the Good Shepherd Institute, which focuses on teaching future farming generations about animal welfare, breed conservancy, and environment stewardship.

This week on Let's Get Real host Erica Wides interviews Sayre Piotrkowski and Collin McDonnell for a conversation all about how foodiness and beer have intertwined.
